About this property

The Byre Farm Cottage In The Trossachs With Pool And Hot Tub

The Byre at Back Borland holiday cottages. Situated in the fantastic location of the Trossachs National Park, these beautifully renovated 18th-century barn conversions, accessed via a rough track, lie in a peaceful location offering breathtaking views over Ben Lomond and the Menteith Hills. Gartmore is the perfect setting for those who love outdoor pursuits, with hundreds of kilometres of forest track easily accessible, The ‘endless’ swimming-pool provides optimal swimming conditions for a single swimmer and the current can be adjusted to a preferred level of difficulty. Even without the current, it still makes a lovely sized pool in which children can swim and have fun.

Please note that Back Borland is accessible by a farm track that may not be suitable for some vehicles with particularly low ground clearance e.g. sports cars etc.

We’re sorry, we are no longer able to accept dogs.

Perfect spot to switch off
Got a lovely welcome from Rosie and Dave with a bottle of fizz and some delicious homemade flapjack. The house was perfect for what needed and made full use of the pool and hot tub. Only thing that I felt was missing was a hair dryer and some tongs for the kitchen. Will recommend to friends and may come back in the future.

Birthday celebrations at The Byre
We enjoyed a wonderful family week of birthday celebrations at The Byre. Rosie and Dave were the perfect hosts making sure we had everything we needed. In addition, it was a lovely surprise to receive homemade flapjacks and a bottle of prosecco on arrival. The location is so picturesque and peaceful and the accommodation was homely and ideal for 3 generations. Everyone (from age 14 to 80!) loved using the hot tub and pool everyday. This is a great location for exploring the stunning Trossachs. We will be back!

Nice relaxing weekend.
Very quiet and peaceful. Rosie offered us warm baking in our arrival which was very nice. Short journey to local facilities but far enough away to feel secluded. The road to the property from the main road is very bumpy though,but we were told about it before arrival.

Beautiful, cozy, scenic
Feels very secluded, but still in easy driving distance to great hiking, historic sites, Loch Lomond. Very quiet. Kids loved the pool. You will want to rent a car for sure, and they aren’t kidding about the access road, you’ll want a sturdy one. Cottage very well equipped with kitchen supplies and dishes. Very cozy sunroom. Hosts are friendly and knowledgable about the area.

Spring holiday
A warm welcome to a very warm property. Everything was just as we expected, but we did find the approach track difficult and a deterrent to going in and out more than once a day. Anyone with a particularly low car would have real problems. We were warned about it but did not realise just how bad it is! The open space living/dining area was bright and there was plenty of room for 8 people. The highlight for the young ones was the pool which was used at least twice a day, and the hot tub was lovely, Who'd have thought sitting out in the early April evening would be so comfortable and relaxing? It would be good to remind people to bring flip-flops or crocks to walk from the house. We drove to get fish suppers from Aberfoyle, but the outlet was closed - best to check in advance. The Black Bull is lovely. Thanks to the hosts for a really enjoyable family break.

A good place to visit the trossachs
We had a wonderful stay in the Byre cottage. It was a cosy cottage with a spacious living area. My daughter loved the landing with rocking chair! There were 4 bedrooms (3 downstairs, 1 upstairs) so plenty of space for us to spread out. Rosie and Dave were lovely hosts and very friendly. The kids very much enjoyed having the use of the pool. The surrounding area is very quiet and we had a nice walk through the "Wee Wood" nearby. The track to the cottage feels quite long, especially the first time, but we took it slowly and our car was fine.

Very relaxing environment
A lovely property with great social space, helpful owner. Very much enjoyed the outdoor hot tub. The ground conditions around the property are tricky in bad weather (we had lots of rain), so future visitors should read the information provided by the owners, so they are aware of what to expect.

Beautiful House, Idyllic Surroundings
This is a beautiful property and the hosts were extremely helpful with every part of the booking and the stay. The hot tub and pool (with a wave machine!!) are a fantastic part of the property and my kids made full use of the pool. The house was cosy and homely and it was a lovely surprise to have flap jacks and a bottle of Prosecco on the table waiting for us. Everything was spotless and although you felt like it was the middle of nowhere, we were actually very close to Stirling and Loch Lomond and thus had the best of both worlds-peace and quiet as well as activities. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. I would definitely recommend the place to others.

5 Star welcoming host. Definitely Recommended
I have just enjoyed a 3 night weekend stay with 5 close friends. A great time was had by all, property was big enough far all to enjoy the space without feeling over crowded. Each couple had their own shower/toilet facilities. We each enjoyed the use of the pool area and hot tub. On the Saturday night we went to the local pub/ restaurant for dinner and a few drinks. Locals were very friendly and accommodating. Would highly recommend.

Thanks Rosie and David, everything was just as described, and made for a fantastic family holiday. The setting and facilities were excellent, the shared Hot Tub would have been great if I had actually realised what day of the week it was.. My fault entirely.. Hope the other guests weren’t too put out 😊 Take care and thanks again. Alan

Had a lovely stay at this cottage. Rosie was very welcoming and gave us an excellent tour of the property. Road, although bumpy, was not as bad as expected and so long as we drove slowly there were no issues. House was clean and tidy with plenty of towels for both the bathroom and the hot tub which was just lovely. We really enjoyed out stay thank you again!

Out Stay
Rosie was wonderful, couldnt be more helpful,,,lovely kind and welcoming. A lovely lady. The place. The advertisement pictures must have been taken some years ago. Place a bit tierd looking and could do with an all round spruce up. AS we were there in lovely hot weather we were really bothered with flies. May be a good idea to put up some kind of fly nets over the Windows. Also perhaps some kinda blinds over the roof Windows. Pool was great, kids loved it. A few garden chairs would have been good for those who didnt go into the pool but looked after the children who couldnt be left on their own. Hot tub was great fun too with great views..but again a few chairs would have been great. Saying all this, we did have a lovely time and found the house clean with clean bedding. Thank you to Rosie.

Great place for a relaxing family holiday
A really great place for a holiday with children . The owners of the property are delightful and the bottle of Prosecco and flapjacks on arrival are a lovely touch. The pool and hot tub were a real bonus that added to the children’s enjoyment. We did not realise from the online listing that the pool and hot tub were shared with another property and that there was a timetable for its use. Having said that, the timetable was very fair. We also did not realise from the online description that the pool was not directly attached to our accommodation and that one had to go outdoors to get access to it. It would be helpful if the online description mentioned that one has to go outdoors to access the indoor pool. We would have brought bathrobes and crocs if we had known, particularly with four young children and in cold weather. We thoroughly recommend this lovely place in a very beautiful part of Scotland! Thank you Rosie and Dave!
